About Us

Capital for Climate’s (C4C) mission is to accelerate capital deployment to climate solutions required to achieve a 1.5°C degree outcome.

Our mission

It took 25 years to mainstream renewables. We can’t wait that long. Investors lack a science-based roadmap showing which investments will have the most impact and deliver their business objectives. They also lack convenient access to the knowledge, resources, and investment opportunities that will enable them to allocate with confidence.
‍
Capital for Climate’s platform tackles each of these issues by empowering investors with data, tools and community.

We work with large-scale investors to focus primary capital on the highest leverage opportunities to achieve decarbonization tipping points across all key sectors within this decade. We have started with Nature-based Solutions, with a mandate from the COP26 High Level Champions Team.
